Since Mary Poppins’ era, umbrella producers have advanced significantly. The title character in a 1964 American musical fantasy film, Mary Poppins, was a magical nanny who traveled far and wide, much to the wonder of her charges, using the strength of her plain-looking, black umbrella, which she would casually close after a safe landing. If she were holding one of the vibrant promotional golf umbrellas that are currently popular, one can be sure that her abilities would be greatly increased!
The sheer variety of umbrellas available today, which can be seen online at any manufacturer’s website, is astounding considering that they have been around for three thousand years. Here are the popular ones in no particular order:
· Fashion umbrellas – exclusive pieces with a special feature here and there like a C shaped handle, a personal monogram, a princess lace dome parasol, a severely plain stick umbrella – pick one to suit your fashion statement
· Rain umbrellas – with motifs suggestive of rain, like raindrops, clouds, a suitable black or a cheerful color to contrast the skies; utility efficient like inverted umbrellas and golf umbrellas for the rain
· Umbrellas that fold up have anti-UV coatings and attractive prints. They can be easily transported in a bag and have telescoping shafts.
